There's an uncertain future cost (basically an externality that impacts McDonald corporate) but in return they get a nice premium now and immediate uncertainty for franchisees. It's possible it's overall a net negative for MD

Yah - it lies outside of the narrowly technical (though technical systems come up a lot) and part of what I would talk about would have been: how much is this a trick and how much of this is real? Like, is software doing slight of hand and

Yah - I think there's value there too. I am a huge fan of FOSS ofc - and also it's good to look at how FOSS allows companies to avoid hiring developers because they can use FOSS products. The first benefit I think of is trying to

When I was a grad student in STS I was considering doing a project on how software can function as an "agency adjuster" where individuals come to bear the risks of something (generally an economic transaction) and the majority of

This is the main reason I see to get a vision pro - basically a travel friendly monitor. Glad to see it does well under these conditions, though it's still a tough sell considering the price tag.

I think the air gradient folks do some collaboration and it's possible you could get your sensors linked into a bigger net by contacting them: https://www.airgradient.com/research/ Edit: Also MIT did this recently

I suspect this has less to do with the ability to...put the software on another VM and more to do with licensing issues.

I suspect a lot of it is driven by the decline of the financial health of journalism as well. I think this sort of story is often one that fits the prejudices of a lot of readers (certainly the author of this article is arguing their perspe

There's a thing with The Atlantic and some other high-prestige publications (The New York Times comes to mind) where, among really high quality journalism, they regularly publish articles that are trying to make a case for an understan

I think there's a range of ways you could communicate it. Kind of depends on the structure of how the backlog gets churned through. Maybe each episode card includes a sigil for the transcript that's either a green circle with a ch

Oh yah I totally understand the current circumstances, just trying to be helpful in debugging. I think a notification feature makes a lot of sense, but it depends on how long the wait tends to be. In terms of setting expectations it might b

I don't really know either. My understanding is that the process of increasing ISO (i.e. boosting signal) works a lot better in CMOS, but also that because of how CMOS works read noise is higher overall. So a CCD will give you a cleane

CCD sensors render differently than CMOS sensors and, if their strengths are what you are looking for they could still make sense. Compared to CMOS they require more light, but when you are capturing an image properly they do a really good

Of course you write this post to have the discourse - but it is Elon's website and he can do what he wants with it I suppose. I don't think any era of Twitter has had very consistent moderation decisions and I don't think it

I don't mean to say that delivery companies must only use custom-built vehicles - but that basically all services have some custom vehicles. As an example the Royal Mail does seem to use a lot of production vehicles, but they also are

I think the puzzle idea is that, if you could figure out a weakness in the hash, you could claim it faster than the brute force approach. So each prize that's claimed "on schedule" supports the idea that there aren't any

It's fair to say and, on some level, I like the idea of scaling fines to lower income more than scaling them to higher incomes. The marginal utility of wealth goes down as you get more anyway. I also think that, if you wanna critique

The idea of having the fine scale based on how quickly people re-offend is also really interesting! I feel like I worry about...situations where people are pressed into breaking that law out of circumstances and then are extra-harshly punis

Yah - income is clearly the first way to do this, but you'd want to integrate assets at some point (many wealthy people do not have traditionally high incomes). That's the tricky part.
